Hello. My name is Alan Katcef and I am director/screenwriter, and a camera assistant. I studied at Saddleback College for two years then transferred with an Associate's Degree in Cinema/Television/Radio to CBU where I received my Bachelor's Degree in film production. As a writer, I have written a number of short film scripts. One of which was chosen by Saddleback to be made into my first short film directed by me. I enjoy writing and working on films that have compelling stories that really drive the message home. As a camera assistant, I have assisted in shooting weddings, as well as behind-the-scenes content for minor projects. Some strengths include attention to detail and being logical and realistic in terms of writing and directing. In my spare time I enjoy getting to know my community. Whether it's at church or with close friends of mine. I get along with others well and am alway ready to learn something new.
